Abstract This research paper focuses on the description of the development of a self-concept in relation with social interaction that happens between children and other adults or partners. 312 children were chosen of both sexes between the ages of 3 and 7. All of them were registered in educational institutions such as kindergarten, pre-nursery, nursery and first grade. The Inventory on Development Battelle was applied in an empirical and analytical study with a transactional and descriptive design. The results given showed that a child who is not provided with the social procurement for his age, presents a low emotional development. In this manner, a low self-concept was correlated with difficulties of interaction with adults or parents. In this way, the stimulating and strengthening of the personal and social development in the infancy, both in the family and in the school, is very important.
